  • 1 ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar 6 mlFrosting
  • 500 grams coconut yoghurt
  • 3 cups icing sugar vegan (750ml)
  • zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160 degrees C (325 degrees F)
  • Grease or line 2 x 22 cm (9 inch) cake pans.
  • Combine xanthan gum with water in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and toasted coconut.
  • Form a well in the middle and add the xanthan water, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut syrup and vinegar.
  • Whisk gently until all ingredients are just combined.
  • Distribute the batter between the two pans and bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before turning out on to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
  • Combine coconut yoghurt, lemon zest and icing sugar, whisking until thick (it involves some elbow grease).
  • Place the frosting in the fridge to thicken further.
  • To assemble, place one cake on a plate and pipe frosting on top. Place the second cake on top again and repeat the process. Using a spatula, smooth out the frosting to a thin layer around the cake to achieve the naked look.
  • Decorate with flowers or fresh fruit.
